If you’re new to the beauty industry, chances are that you’re gonna mess up A LOT while putting on makeup. Although makeup skills can be improved with practice, you don’t always have the time to remove and reapply your makeup all over again—especially when you’re in a rush! 

Hence, there’s no harm in knowing a trick or two that can help fix those makeup mistakes ASAP. In this article, we’ve compiled a list of quick fixes to some common makeup struggles we all face—and they’re all easy and beginner-friendly, we swear!

 

1. Smudged eyeshadow

Those of you who have oily eyelids, we feel you! After merely an hour or two, our eyeshadow tends to smudge, leaving our lids creased. But as long as you have your makeup bag with you,  reapplication can be done quite easily.  

How to fix: 

  1. Blot excess sebum away using a blotting paper.
  2. Apply oil-controlling primer on the eyelids. 
  3. Spray your eyeshadow brushes with a setting spray before reapplying eye makeup.

2. Mascara stains on eyelids 

Some mascaras come with big brushes and it’s super easy to stain the eyelids during application. If this happens to you, rest assured that you can remove the mascara stains on your lids without redoing your entire eye makeup! 

How to fix: 

  1. Let the mascara dry; avoid wiping it right away as it will smudge your eye makeup.
  2. Dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and lightly rub off the dried mascara. 
  3. Reapply eyeshadow on the affected area and blend evenly.

3. Excess or crooked eyeliner

The shaky-hand struggle is real! Whether you’re trying to get rid of an uneven cat eye or a thick eyeliner, it’s extremely easy to mess up your overall eye makeup. Before you smudge your eyeliner and make a bigger mess, here’s a tip for you. 

How to fix:

  1. Let the eyeliner dry completely. 
  2. Using an eyeliner brush, cover the excess eyeliner with a high coverage concealer.

4. Overdone blush

You’re loving how your foundation and contour look, but after applying your blush, you realize that the highly pigmented blush is all over the place. How annoying is that?! Don’t panic and reach out for your makeup remover, as there are simpler ways to fix it! 

How to fix:

  1. Swirl a powder brush on loose translucent powder.
  2. Gently tap the brush to remove excess powder.
  3. Pat the brush on top of your blush to lighten the hue.

5. Cakey foundation

Cakey foundation is usually caused by applying too much product or dehydrated and oily skin. Sometimes, we will only notice the patchy foundation on our faces when we view it in different lighting. Too late to redo your makeup? Here’s what you can do!

How to fix:

  1. Blot excess sebum with a blotting paper.
  2. Reapply a thin layer of foundation using a damp beauty blender.
  3. Dab lightly to even out the edges for a smooth finish.
